Chucky #2: The rampage continues this issue as Chucky dispenses a lotta more of the killing. First (and second for that matter) is the duo from last issue, (ex-)detective Barry Preston and his wife, Shawna. That takes up a third of the issue. The remaining two-thirds is Chucky suddenly growing an ‘evil genius’ brain, one which has him not only exquisitely planning a waking nightmare routine for this next victims, Jessie and (more importantly) Jade but also spouting off on about DNA and how he going to use to frame Jesse. I understand there is the spirit/essence/whatever of a man within that plastic doll, but unless that man is the serial killer doppelganger of Lex flippin’ Luthor, these actions are a little to ‘out there’ to accept. And this I say without including Chucky’s seemingly supernatural ability to zip between Barry’s, Jade’s houses and wherever it is that he has secret hideout.

Conclusion: Promising start, not good enough follow through.

RATING: 2.5/5
